242 LANGIA; CLANIDOPSIS; PARUM; MIMAS. By Dr. K. Jordax. 



16. Genus: Ijaii;;^ia Moore. 



A large long-winged species. Tongue weak and short, reaching to tlie apex of the fore coxae. Palpi 

 small, just visible in a dorsal view, almost the same size in J and $, with long hairs on the side. End-segment 

 of antennae very short. The head, pro- and mesonotum and the apex of the abdomen smoothly scaled, the 

 body otherwise rough; abdomen without spines, which is very rare in tliis fanuly. Tibiae likewise without 

 spines, spurs long, with long naked points, hind tibia with two jiairs; tarsi short, the spines of one of the rows 

 erect in comb-shape; pulvillus present, paronychium with only one lobe on each side. Distal margin of fore- 

 wing dentate as in Marnmhn; the cross-vein of the hindwing with a spur projecting into tlie cell. Frenulum 

 present. Larva covered with pointed white granules, from the pronotum to the horn on each side a subdorsal 

 row of larger granules which are placed on a white line ; head a very high cone, frons not granulose ; horn very 

 short. On Apricot and Wild Cherry. Pupa short and thick, rounded at both ends, without cremaster: tongue- 

 case longer tlian sheath of midleg, dorsum rather densely and venter sparsely granulated. The larva produces 

 a hissing sound, whereas the moths chirps when irritated. Elwe.s found the larva in July and Dudgeon the 

 moth in April. 



L. zenzeroides. Grey; forewing with black and whitish lines which run from the hind maigin more or 

 less in the direction of the apex. The rough scaling and the mixture of grey, white, brown antl black thits recalls 

 Cossus. — zenzeroides Moore does not occur on Palearctic territory ; it is known to us from the whole of North 

 naicai. India, from Simla to Assam, and from Yunnan. — nawai R. d> J. (38 b), of which we have 2 $$ from Lake 

 Biwa on Hondo (Japan), is more extended white in the cell and on the disc of the forewing, the discal lines 

 are more interrupted and the anal lines of the hindwing are shorter. 



17. Genus: C'laiiidopKi!^ R. d- ./. 



In colour similar to Clunis; smaller. Tongue very short and weak: tibiae without spines, pulvillus and 

 paronychium absent; hind tibia with 2 pail's of spurs, which are shorter than in Clunis. Frenulum present. 

 Abdomen above with verj^ numerous spines at the edges of the segments, the underscales of the tergites partly 

 narrow and spine-like, partly broad. — Larva not described, foiuid on Poplar. — One species. 



exusia. 0. exusta Bull, {'.il e). Reddish brown, similar to Clunis in markings; forewing beneath without black 



smear below the cell. Mid and hind tibiae grey above. The sole-shaped valve of the (^ as in Clanis without 

 modified scales on the outer surface; on the inner surface the process covered with setiferous granules, and 

 found at the base of the valve in all species of Clanis, is absent ; penis-sheath weakly chitinised and, as 

 in Clanis, without armature. — North- West India, reaching Palearctic territor\- in Southern Kashmir. 



18. Genus: Pariim R. A J. 



Forewing entire as in the previous genus, with the apex very obtusely rounded or truncate. The spines 

 of the abdomen numerous, but very weakly chitinised. End-segment of antennae short, the distal segment 

 higher than long; cilia distinctly prolonged also at the sides of the $-antenna. Tongue short and weak. Tibiae 

 without spines, spurs very short, hind tibia with one or two pairs, in the latter case the proximal pair con- 

 cealed in the scaling and sometimes only developed on one tibia; pulvillus and paronychium present, the lobes of 

 the latter short. Frenulum and retinaculum well developed (jx)rphi/ria) or reduced {colliyata). Subcostal 

 and radial 1 of hindwing separate or on a very short stalk. Valve of ^ sole-shaped, without patch of modified 

 scales on the outer surface. — Early stages not known. — Two Asiatic species. 



cotliyala. P. colh'gata Walk. {= hieti Obertfi.) {SS h). Greyish green : body without distinct markings. Forewing 



with a basal baud and a sidjbasal one which are united at the costal margin, both being grey; discocellular 

 dot white ; at the apex a dark green halfmoon, from which a dark streak runs into the cell ; before the margin 

 an evenly curved light band, which reaches the margin below the apex. Hindwing blackish with green distal 

 margin and a short black anal band. Underside of forewing blackish grey proximally. distally however nearly 

 as above; hindwing brownish grey, a median band and the distal margin green, a discal longitudinal streak 

 black. — Japan (Kiushiu), and distributed from Shantung to Hongkong and West China. This species is parti- 

 cularly interesting on account of the variability of the frenulum and the spurs of the hind tibiae. 



19. Genus: Miuias Hbn. 



This purely Palearctic genus belongs into the relationshi)) of Rolyptychu.s. Ci/jxi and Sinerinthulus, 

 to which it is much more nearly allied than to the genera Snierinthus and Amorpha, with which tiliae is 

 usually united in one genus Smerinthus. 



Antenna of ^ prismatical, with lateral grooves whose upper edge is somewhat produced laterad, the 

 cilia placed around the groove long; in the $ the antenna almost cylindrical, without lateral grooves and 

 without distinctly prolonged cilia; end-segment short in ^ and $. Tongue short and weak. Palpi with
